Castro used propaganda to mythologise the revolution and to create a cult around himself. He used Radio (Radio Rebelde), TV, Magazines (Bohemia) and newspapers (Granma). These were used to create a persistent presence of the revolution and the government in the Cuban's homes, and to raise awareness of the government's ideals and actions in order to increase the public's commitment to politics. Castro also used his speeches as propaganda, and helped him keep his power from 1959.
